THE DOUGLAS ELLIMAN FLORIDA REPORT: MIAMI 2Q 2011
This comprehensive and timely report shows an active resi-
dential market moving ahead in sales, prices and viability
after several down years. The report analyzes regional data
on condos and single-family homes in Miami-Dades coastal
communities and has been expanded to record the different
behaviors of distressed and non-distressed sales.
While distressed properties are still a fact of Florida life, rep-
resenting 54 percent of all sales, (down from 65 per cent of
all sales last quarter, due in part to the robosigning scandal),
there are indications that though prices for all properties are
mixed, they will continue to trend higher in favored areas.

The South Beach submarket is especially notable, with both
closed prices and sales up compared to the prior quarter. In
Miami Beach and Downtown Miami, sales jumped as prices
fell. In North Miami-Dade, prices were mixed while the num-
ber of sales was up sharply. Overall, non- distressed prices
are up 6 to 9 percent.

The large number of all-cash buyers is especially signifcant:
They account for 78 percent of condo distressed sales (pre-
sumably for investment), while in the non-distressed market,
all-cash buyers (mainly looking for second-homes), account
for 71percent of purchases in the high-end condo market.
